Killara Farm — ditch the noise and press reset in the rolling hills of the Mary Valley, Sunshine Coast. Every corner is crafted for connection: coffee on the verandah under the grapevine, long chats with friends, or relaxed afternoons. Spend sun-drenched days by the pool, meet our shaggy Highland cows, and enjoy slow mornings, long lunches, and beautifully unplugged days. Perfect for family escapes, girls’ weekends, or couples seeking a relaxed, boutique farm getaway.

The space
As you pass through the gates of Killara Farm, a sense of calm sets in. The circular driveway leads you to a peaceful rural retreat that’s been featured twice in Urban List’s “17 of the Best Sunshine Coast Farm Stays for a Country Escape.”

The homestead is wrapped in wide verandahs that capture the breeze and offer panoramic views of the countryside. Relax by the pool under the shade of a grapevine, perfect for a slow afternoon with a glass of wine or deep conversation.

Inside, rustic timber floors bring warmth and character to every room—some even bear traces of paint from generations past, reminding us that homes have a story to tell. Carefully chosen vintage touches add a nod to the home’s lived-in charm and history.

The open kitchen is a cook’s dream, featuring a large blackbutt island bench and a double oven, ideal for preparing memorable meals with local produce. Every corner of the homestead reflects our love for the home, thoughtfully curated with heart and soul.

For a quieter moment, retreat to the Whiskey Room—painted in moody charcoal and overlooking the dam—where you might spot our friendly Highland cows near the fence, hoping for a pat.

A gentle creek winds through the property, leading to open paddocks. The creek and back paddocks may not always be accessible due to rain, the location of the cows and general farming activity.

Whether you're here to reconnect with nature or indulge in slow living, Killara Farm offers the perfect balance of tranquility and adventure.

My work: Airbnb host
Big fan of smart architecture, fluffy highland cows, and quality time with family. I’m drawn to simple design, open landscapes, and the kind of spaces that tell a story. Timeless and modern things, done well.
